AIP Instant Oatmeal (Starch and Coconut-Free)

    With the successful launch of 85 Amazing AIP Breakfasts, I realized how many people LOVE their morning meal. Like a deep, earth-rattling passion for your pancakes and cereal. I feel ya. Like I said in my post last week, it’s my favorite meal of the day even though life circumstances sometimes have me […]

Paleo Date-Filled Arabic Cookies (Ma’amoul)

Growing up with a Lebanese father and very traditional Lebanese extended family, our holidays and celebrations were founded on the four major food groups: hummus, tabbouleh, roast chicken, and ma’amoul. Ma’amoul is a very traditional Arabic cookie made from semolina and butter and filled with a variety of sweets like dates, walnuts, and pistachios. The […]

Garlic Fried Chicken Livers (Paleo, AIP, Whole30, 21dsd)

    Chicken livers are my favorite organ meat because they are the most mild and versatile. Beef liver, even when hidden in bacon, mushrooms, and herbs, still is undoable for me. And I’ve had it a lot. It just never gets any better. Maybe my taste buds will change soon for it.   I’m […]

I think I have a new favorite region of the country: the southwest. I type this as I’m flying on Southwest Airlines (my favorite except for their terrible WiFi) to Florida for the holidays. We are going to spend a couple weeks with family and then off to Atlanta to start a new job. I’m […]

Peppermint Fudge (AIP & Paleo Versions)

Sweet & Tangy Pulled Pork

      Pulled Pork cooked in cranberries for a tangy, sweet, unique Instant Pot main that will be on the table in a little over an hour!     I’ve been hitting a funky wall with recipe development lately. All of my creativity is being driven towards work right now… and finding creative ways […]

AIP Ginger Sandwich Cookies with Lemon Cream (Paleo)

Oh these made me one happy little gal. My recipe development method is a little obscure, but usually an idea pops in my head so late at night that it wouldn’t be logically sound to begin testing it at 10 pm. So then I bound out of bed and get busy in the kitchen as […]

AIP Balance Week | Day 4: Exercise

As a foreward, this photo was taken in September 2013 prior to the start of AIP while I was on a Paleo diet and at the height of my exercise  craze (I am very competitive with myself and quickly learning that is not the best trait for someone with AI!) I was transitioning between a […]
